The idea came from the well known stunt man Evil Knievel, who jumped the Idaho Snake River in a steam rocket on May 6th, 1972. Forty-three years later, Mad Mike Hughes is going to attempt to launch himself across "The Grand Canyon of Texas." If he completes this jump, he will break his own record for the longest steam rocket jump.

This stunt is going to be totally insane and could be very dangerous.

Tickets will be sold the day of event to watch this historic moment. There will also be food vendors and live entertainment. For more information about the rocket launch, click here.
